Math:
Students in grade 1 - reviewed telling time to the hour and half hour. We reviewed the difference between am/pm and when they occur. We also learned about the words noon and midnight.

Students in grade 2 - learned about temperature and how to read a thermometer. We discussed the seasons and when the weather is warm/cold. We discussed that sometimes during the winter it can get very cold to the point where it goes into the mind digits or negative digits. We also discussed how sometimes in the summer it gets very hot and this is called being in the positive or plus digits. We then took a thermometer and stuck it in a glass of cool water we recorded the temperature. We then boiled water and poured it into a cup. We then stuck the thermometer into the cup and recorded the temperature.

Unit of inquiry:
Today we had a Remembrance Day assembly during our UOI time. We wore the poppy we made yesterday and discussed the Importance of Remembrance Day.

Language:

Students in grade one: learned about silent consonants and vowels we read the story Silent Letters Loud and clear. We discussed how silent letters are seen not heard and that you must memorize/practise these words in order to learn their spelling. We then made a list of some words we know with silent letters. Afterwards we put our knowledge into action by completing a worksheet on silent letters.
